It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

Beautiful piano, for sure, but who are those movers? It is unheard of to transport an instrument without wrapping and protecting it thoroughly. It has nothing to do with being confident in your moving skills. Anyone who's done it for any length of time knows that there are all sorts of hazards that can, and do, occur when moving a piano....especially of that size. Also, the straps look loose in the photos. Anyway, best of luck with an incredible piano. Glad it got there safely!!

I don't see any photos of that odd looking blue hoist/mini-crane actually being used with the piano...too nervous?

Really beautiful

During the crane operation I was filming it using my camera. I'll post a video once I upload it. it took 2 attempts haha.

Yeah, I was really surprised that they didnt wrap it up in blankets , etc... It didnt end up with any scratches, but some marks where the belts were attached to the piano. They will be polished off next week free of charge.

Chopinlover, the belts were only used for the crane so there is some slack to attach to the crane hook. After it got up the 2nd story, it was pushed up another set of stairs and finally in position.

I still remember the experience of playing one on stage in Beijing. The action of that piano was extraordinarily responsive; even the pedals felt great. There was a wonderful shimmering quality to the high treble; the bass was very clear, and of course, the middle section sang.

That piano worked just fine in a hall that seated over 1000 people. I'm sure, in the more intimate setting of your home, that the sound will be spectacular in its clarity and detail.

That is quite the piano! Congrats and I love your floor too. Frames the piano very nicely! But I have to agree, these movers would scare any piano buyer.... Especially a with piano of this category... Thanks for sharing!

I was just curious as to why the legs are not fluted, why the mover was moving the piano w/o the lid and the fallboard. So, I wanted to know where the country is.

Steering wheels of the cars in the photos are on the wrong side, men are whites and they are in summer clothes. So I narrowed to South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. According to the license plate of two cars in the photos, I guess it is Australia.

good detective skills, masaki I'm in Aust.

I asked for square legs mainly because it is cheaper and I like the look of it better than the round legs. I think these legs were taken off a RX7 piano.

The lid had to be removed because of the dolly they used. you can see this in the video that I will post later.

The fallboard can be removed by just sliding it up, so maybe they it could fall out during transportation? i duno
